Why have I been hanging out on Bourbon St?! Frenchmen is 10x cooler. This place has a crazy long beer selection. Drink up.
Excellent iced-coffee, says this guy from Brooklyn. No seating though, so take it to go and sit on the benches in Jackson Square.
Good breakfast alternative to the fancy places with a long wait. Sausage egg an cheese sandwiches on a biscuit. Pass on the grits. Nothing special.
Belly up to the spinning carousel bar and order a fancy cocktail, preferably something with dramamine.
Can't leave NOLA w/out hitting this famous dueling pianos bar. Impossible to get a seat late night, so go around 6pm. Killer requests: Sweet Child of Mine, Wonderwall, Smells like Teen Spirit.
Incredible local dive away from the Bourbon St madness. Shrimp po boy and a (small sized) frozen Irish coffee are the move. Drop a shot of Jameson's in it - trust me.
The charbroiled oysters will blow your mind! Cooked in butter, parm, and garlic - they're way better than the raw ones. Pro tip: order an extra side of garlic bread to sop up the sauce!
Last time I was here I drank 2 & 1/2 Kate's Koolers. Four hours later I was beating my buddy with a "Caution: Wet Floor" sign and throwing another buddy's luggage in a drunken rage. Beware.
![James H Cohen & Sons Inc. [Antique Weapons And Coins] is one of new orleans favorites.](https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/699x268/32_IAriV15L4vJ8Wzw-g8s-R3HusoTtLE2qIt0RBqdEJ1I.jpg)
One block off Bourbon Street and filled with antique swords, guns, knives, etc... don't miss the old US dollars and the knife-gun-brass-knuckle combo weapon. Ka-pow!
I know it sounds crazy but the peanut butter bacon burger is surprisingly good. When else you gonna find this on a menu? Side of Mac n cheese.
